- Take care in rating posts: at a given negative threshold they will be notified to the administrator, at a lower negative threshold they will be automatically erased.
- Stay on topic, write concisely and do not ramble; when replying to a post, do not quote more from the previous post than you have to, and only post responses when you have something to contribute with.
- Do not post new topics on someone else's thread interrupting a topic of discussion; watch your sense of humor, posts may be read by people from a variety of backgrounds.
